On 24th April 1100 men and women died in a factory collapse in Bangladesh. One tragic incident of many in recent years that has highlighted the need for action on safety and working conditions for garment workers in Bangladesh.

This time people acted. The Bangladesh Fire and Safety Accord was established, a legally-binding agreement that would make significant progress on transparency and help secure safe working conditions for workers. All companies were asked to join but not everyone did.

Sports Direct is one of only two major British companies which have not yet signed the Bangladesh Safety Accord, a legally binding agreement that guarantees safe and decent working conditions for garment workers in Bangladesh.

Despite public outcry Sports Direct is yet to follow in the footsteps of the other British companies who have signed the international agreement.

Stephen Brown, UK Country Director said:

"Sports Direct is sourcing from unsafe factories in Bangladesh. Workers are expected to work long hours, for very little in unsafe conditions. We hope that Sports Direct spends some of it's huge profits on joining with 90 other retailers to improve conditions rather than further lining the pockets of its owners.

Frankly, if those unsafe factories were in the UK they'd put put right immediately. We can't have a different standard just because these workers live far away and in extreme poverty".

It is unacceptable for any British company to refuse to sign the Safety Accord. Our need for fashion should not compromise the safety of those who make our clothes.

Tell Sports Direct that you care about where your clothes are made of and about those men and women who make your clothes by sending the below letter.
